What's for dinner... Meatballs

I am a very... throw a bunch of stuff in a pot and hope it all tastes good kinda gal. With that said, tonight I am going to attempt meatball subs :) I will update to let you know what Matt and Amelia thought and if I would change anything

Meatballs:
1 lb ground pork
1 lb ground beef
1/2 medium onion
1/2 c. ground Parmesan cheese
2 tbs. natures seasoning
1 c. ground seasoned croutons
2 eggs

-Mix all together with your HANDS and roll into whatever size meatballs you want, then set aside.

Sauce:
1 8oz can tomato sauce
1 can petite diced tomatoes
1/2 c. beef stock
1 c. tomato juice

-Throw into a pot and bring to a boil
-Brown meatballs in a separate pan and when almost done throw 2 tbs of beef stock in to de-glaze the pan, then just dump it all into the pot.
-Allow to simmer on the stove for about 30 min with the lid on
-Remove the lid and allow the sauce to reduce for a few hours
-Spoon meatballs and sauce onto any kind of sub rolls or french bread you like
-Top with a few slices of cheese and viola!

**Update... The meatballs were awesome! I sprinkled a little extra Parmesan cheese in on them after I pulled the lid off for the sauce to reduce. I also baked a french loaf that is made by Pillsbury and found in one of the handy dandy tubes in the refrigerated section. Cut a big slit down the middle and made it a sandwich :) These would also be really good over spaghetti noodles!
